[ "Licking to show affection is a functional behavior that puppies learn from their mother and littermates. Maternal licking and licking among littermates helps strengthen family bonds. A dog licking your face is expressing his affection for you and trying to strengthen the familial bond he has with you." ]

[ "Naloxone is not well absorbed orally while buprenorphine is. At high enough dosage, the effect of naloxone (which blocks opioid effects) does start to become significant, which decreases the effect from dose escalation. The biggest reason is for injection though, as naloxone is fully active there, and injecting will not give you a significant high, and might even precipitate withdrawal." ]

[ "Neither. There was no single moment when someone said \"OK, I'm now perfectly suited to translate one entire language into another one and vice versa. Here we go....\" Rather, over vast swaths of time, as explorers, merchants and just people living on the fringes of their tribes' (or whatever group) geographic ranges came into contact with others more and more, multi-lingual people came to exist. At some point, likely when it became beneficial for trade or travel purposes (i.e., when someone could make money from it), translation guides were developed, and these were formalized more and more over time as connections between the two (or more) groups grew. Now in some modern/recent academic and cultural preservation projects, there have been translation projects, but those are aimed mostly at preserving \"dying\" languages." ]

[ "People who sign create shortcut or specific signs to represent names of people they know. So between friends and family you will have a sign to represent the names of your parents, siblings, close friends, pets, and people you interact with frequently. These shortcuts usually include a tongue-and-cheek reference to something they are known for or their appearance. For example a friend of mine is 'S' followed by the sign for 'Cat' because her names starts with S and she volunteers at a pet shelter. For unfamiliar people the name is finger spelled letter by letter until such a time as that person is assigned a sign language name. For famous people these shortcut signs become standardized throughout the community because their names are mentioned so often. President Obama for example is the sign for 'O' followed by 'flag' While President Trump the last time I checked was a sign representing his comb-over. My favorite persons name is sign is Shakespeare. Which is you make the sign for a 'spear' and shake it." ]

(Although there are Gram + bacteria that do not stain). The biological difference is in the cell wall. In general: Gram + have thicker cell walls, and no outer membrane. They can survive higher salt, but tend to be more sensitive to antibiotics. Gram - have thinner cell walls, but have the chemically important outer membrane. They are more sensitive to salt, but tend to resist more antibiotics. There's plenty of exceptions to those rules, but the general patterns are informative." ]

[ "**TL;DR: Power.** A big part of our social structure is based on one person having power over other people. Most of us either want to lead, are jealous of the leader, or understand we're not the right person to be that leader. We see this in a lot of other animals like horses and sheep. The large-and-in-charge 'stallion' or 'ram' gets the girls and leads the pack by showing their power. Scaring someone - making them react in a startled way - shows you have some power over them, and gives you a little jolt of satisfaction when you do it. Applies just as much when we're young and just figuring things out as when we're older." ]

[ "They are very different kinds of devices. All a transistor (in a computer) is doing is controlling the flow of a tiny current. This doesn't need the transistor to be large, in fact it can be very small and still do its job brilliantly. However if we look at transistors that are designed to deal with bigger currents (inside a power supply for example), they are larger as they need more material to not be destroyed by the larger currents. Capacitors are essentially two conductive sheets very close together. The capacitance is directly related to the electric field within the capacitor. To increase the strength of the electric field we can move the sheets closer, make the sheets bigger, or put a better dielectric (a material) between the two. If we have reached the limit of how close they can get, and already have the best material between them, then all we can do is make the sheets bigger. This means that we have to make the capacitor itself larger." ]

[ "Your body only uses what it needs and gets rid of the excess. When it notices it has a whole bunch of water it doesn’t require it sends it straight through you. The reason this is good for you is toxins get diluted more and are flushed out faster. The downside is many of your essential vitamins and minerals will also be flushed out quickly. That’s why it’s important to eat nutritious food daily and not just once in a while. In regards to your second question. You can get dehydrated easily if you only drink coffee and pop. Coffee and pop are what’s known as a diuretic. This means it causes more water to be excreted by your cells. This will initially cause frequent peeing but will quickly dehydrate you, at which point you’ll pee much less frequently." ]

[ "In common English usage? Nothing. Technically the term race is a broad category of commonly shared phenotypes. This was actual science at one time and during that time they determined that there are 3 races. These are Caucasoid (European, Middle Eastern, Western Asia), Mongoloid (Asia, Polynesia and the Americas), Negroid (Africa, some Polynesia, and Australia). Later some broke things up further making the Americas their own racial group and making polynesia their own racial group. But this is considered bad science now. Most people use the older linguistic usage of race which can be a synonym for ethnicity, tribe, and clan. For all practical purposes it is interchangeable with ethnicity save that race tends to focus on genetic heritage only and ethnicity acknowledges cultural traditions and inheritances." ]

It’s still considered off label and experimental, but up to 85 percent of people who receive it will see major improvements to their mental health and some people, such as myself, will actually never need medication again. I’m 3 years symptom free, after struggling with suicidal depression for over two decades....but my results are atypical. Most recipients will need a booster infusion every six months to a year...but it’s a simple 45 minute outpatient procedure It’s gaining more and more mainstream traction in the US and there are clinics that offer the treatment in almost every major city. The problem is because it is off label and experimental, insurance will not cover it and it costs about 3500 dollars out of pocket for the full 6 infusion treatment course. It’s a great alternative treatment with high efficacy that is worth looking into if you’re suffering from depression, ptsd or anxiety issues that don’t respond well to other medications." ]

[ "The human body is both powerfully adaptable, and incredibly lazy. if given the opportunity, it will perform motions that use the least amount of energy, for the sake of efficiency. However, if you go in with heavy lifting, the body says \"fine ok, this is what we're doing\" and allocates the necessary resources to lift heavy things. it then adapts (temporarily) to that being the new \"standard\" and other things feel lighter by comparison. However if you slack for a period of time, they will feel heavy again because your body has gone back into *power save mode*. EDIT: not to say this is how muscle is built, it's not. this is just about the temporary perception of things feeling lighter. Building muscle and actually becoming stronger overall is a different process. A fun activity: jump on a trampoline for a half hour. then stand on normal ground and try to jump. Your body will have adapted to the trampoline as a temporary default, and jumping on normal ground you will feel like a ton of bricks." ]

[ "Many people don't understand that the US Bankruptcy Code is actually intended to serve as a positive and encouraging tool to save a struggling business. In the world of business, taking advantage of its provisions is not an embarrassment. Many Americans seem to think it is, but it is not. A person may never file personal bankruptcy, yet be associated with corporate bankruptcy multiple times. A corporation is a separate legal entity from a person, so a corporation going bankrupt does not automatically impact the personal assets, other than the value of their investment in the company's stock, or credit score of its owners or shareholders. The most important point: A chapter 11 bankruptcy is not the end of a business. It’s a strategy for eliminating or reducing debt, using the courts you work with lenders to show that your company, while in trouble now, still has profit potential in the future. Chapter 7 bankruptcy is different. In a chapter 7 bankruptcy the company's assets are sold to pay of creditors, and the business is closed. If there are not enough assets to pay the creditors, well... tough. However after closing a business, there is no law preventing a person from incorporating and starting a new business. And as long as more of your businesses make money than fail then you can keep going." ]

[ "Well. If you are stressed your body sends out some hormones. One of these hormones is the hormone \"cortisol\". This hormone causes a faster heartbeat and a faster breathing. Your body is preparing for a very hard situation. To increase the speed of breathing and heartbeating, your body takes the energy(blood with oxygen) from less important areas like your stomach. To digest food, your body needs a bunch of energy which he hasn't at this time. Your body stops the digesting of food and the rest food is locked in your stomach. This causes a hurting stomach. Some persons are puking or having diarrhea because the body tries to get rid of the food. The reason why some people are behaving different when they're stressed isn't known yet." ]

[ "The monarch is head of state, as opposed to head of government (that would be the Prime Minister); in European republics, the monarch is usually replaced by a President, who may have more definite powers and is either directly or indirectly elected. The head of state basically represents the country, while the head of government sets the broad agenda for the legislature and also chairs the cabinet. The US President effectively combines the roles of head of state and head of government, which is sometimes problematic in terms of diplomacy: a recent petition (signed by 1.8 million people) called on the government not to accord President Trump the honour of a full state visit due to controversies surrounding his conduct as head of government. In the last few centuries, the role of monarch has declined, and since Victoria has kept out of party politics altogether -- in public, that is. In private, she has regular audiences with the Prime Minister in which they talk of matters of state. In theory, the most important role the British monarch has is to ensure good governance, but it's unclear how much she can actually do to that end. It's also unclear just how much influence she does have on government policy, since the details of her meetings with the PM are confidential. It is known that Margaret Thatcher, a Conservative, once complained that if the queen could vote, she would vote Liberal Democrat. The murky nature of her exact role, given that she is unelected and accountable only to constitutional law (whatever that may be on a given day), obviously makes a lot of people nervous. On the other hand, given her very long reign (her first Prime Minister was Winston Churchill), her experience may well be extremely useful. Diplomatically, she performs a role that is arguably very important. As head of state, she meets other heads of states, and that certainly helps to oil the complex machinery of international relations. It may be helpful that, since she is a hereditary monarch, she doesn't have to toe the party line or keep one eye on her approval ratings." ]

Fiscal Year closing is a huge deal and having it happen during your busy times is a recipe for disaster. At the same time, business dries up considerably for them by the end of January. So in both cases they run a fiscal year that runs Feb 1 to January 31st. Because that way they are closing out their books during a slow time AND they are capturing their biggest months for each fiscal year." ]

Out of all the profit a particular country makes as a whole, how much do they dedicate toward capabilities of war. This is further scrutinized in alliances such as NATO. NATO countries have agreed to spend equally on defense of the community. Understanding that each country is different, of a different size and capable of producing different exports and revenues, instead of assigning a dollar amount for all these nations to spend, they agreed on a percentage of GDP to spend" ]

When you have a wound that needs repaired, rather than the brain telling the body to heal, the individual cells see that they are next to a wound and switch into repair mode. Each cell will function in repair mode while it is adjacent to a wound. If a given cell is surrounded by healthy cells, it will switch back to normal operating mode. If these modes don’t switch appropriately (usually due to a mutation to the cell’s dna) this can lead to cancer or an autoimmune disease. The cells are stuck in heal mode, they will reproduce at really fast rates and the new cells will have that damaged dna. If cells get stuck in a fight infection mode, they can start attacking the normal cells in the body (auto-immune disease)." ]

They either are electrically charged (alpha, beta) or create an electrical charge when interacting with other materials (gamma, x-ray (high energy), neutron (through decay)). The primary damage is caused to genetic materials in cells. This results in the greatest effects being seen in rapidly growing and reproducing cellular structures (digestive tract, reproductive organs). It will either kill the cell outright or interfere with its reproduction, preventing it or causing it to occur out of control (cancer). Watch the HBO mini-series Chernobyl. They do a good job demonstrating the symptoms of severe radiation exposure with the fire fighters that first respond to the reactor. The initial onset of symptoms, followed by an apparent recovery, that then quickly transitions to severe symptoms and death. We don't have any natural senses that allow us to detect these types of radiation. Unless you have detection equipment, you won't know you have been exposed until you begin experiencing symptoms. Non-ionizing radiation still causes damage and can kill you. Thermal radiation (Infra-red light) is capable of creating severe burns with enough intensity and time." ]

So, you lose a whole lot of CO2 compared to can which is usually aluminum. Same with carton, cannot hold the CO2 as well. The aluminum traps all the CO2 in the soda, and that's why it has that crisp bubbly taste compared to the other packaging choices. NOW from an ecological perspective the story changes. PET and cartons are much easier to recycle than aluminum and leave less of a carbon footprint. So while the perceived quality is less than a can, the benefits to society and the planet are better. So eventually it be good to get rid of all metal cans. TLDR, amount of trapped carbonation is what makes us perceive soda to taste better. Can holds carbonation better than plastic or carton.

Lifting, running, walking, bending, even standing all involve various combinations of back, core, leg and arm muscles. What you're talking about can happen if one muscle group gets hurt and the rest pitch in to take the burden off of the injured muscles. When I pulled my right hamstring while running last year, my physiotherapist suspected that it happened because of a smaller injury to my left hip and IT band which caused me to overwork my right side. It might happen because of poor form when exercising, not recruiting back and core muscles when doing squats will put all of the strain on your legs, making them work harder than they need to. And like others have said, if the muscle group that you're working on isn't strong enough, you'll start recruiting other muscles to finish the job. This is why proper form is so important when exercising." ]

[ "It's cheaper to fund a professor's research than to hire them, and still fund the research. There are two main reasons for this. Governments will have grants that match company contributions, thereby giving the company as much as ten times the return on investment (but more typically around double). The other main reason is that universities themselves contribute - not only do they already pay the professor's salary, but they also often have existing laboratories (the universities are, in turn, frequently funded by a combination of government grants, industrial partnerships, rich old guys wanting their names on buildings, and, increasingly, student tuition). As for who owns the research, it's a complicated issue, and is typically up for negotiation. A professor needs to publish, but since this need is tied to their need for funding, they'll accept less publishing rights if the company pays more. If a company doesn't want their research public, there are three things they'll usually consider. First is to require a hold on publication. This means that the research group cannot publish their findings for three years (or however long the company negotiates). The second is to normalize or obscure the data. An example of this would be to say \"losses decreased by 3.1%\" rather than saying \"losses decreased from 0.387 to 0.375\". The third is to develop research projects where parts of the results are publishable, and parts are not. An example might be research on simulated noise developed by a new car design. The actual noise results might be published, while the methods of simulating the noise are kept proprietary. This would let the company develop new tools for simulating noise, while still releasing useful information on the design. tl;dr, it's cheaper to fund than to hire, and ownership is negotiable" ]

[ "First of all, there is a difference between alcoholism and heavy drinking. Alcoholism is a psychological dependency on alcohol, where the individual cannot or will not stop drinking despite whatever bad effects it is having on his life, health, job, and family. Alcoholism and heavy drinking typically go hand in hand, in that most alcoholics are heavy drinkers, but not all heavy drinkers are alcoholics. In my medical practice I have encountered plenty of people who drank a lot, but as soon as they were told that it was harming their health they just stopped. Many of us have known (or in some cases been) the heavy college partier who consumed completely unhealthy amounts while in school but gave it up as soon as they hit the \"real world\". There is at least some genetic component to becoming alcoholic. The average adult can handle about two drinks per day/14 per week without any major long term problem. Any more than that, and there is increasing risk of liver damage. The liver is a remarkable organ with a high capacity to regenerate itself. Most people who shows sings of alcoholic liver damage are able to reverse it if they quit drinking. The healing potential of the liver does have a breaking point however, and severe long term damage may be permanent, usually called cirrhosis of the liver. Enough liver damage can ultimately be fatal. Note that the above is for the average person. Some people can consume more without a problem. Some (including some particular ethnic groups) will do damage with less. A blood test can usually spot early signs of liver damage." ]

So when you convert it back into lighter elements you get a lot of energy out. its like if you have a bicycle hooked up to a generator which splits water into hydrogen and oxygen via electrolysis, and then when you have done it for a long time and have a lot of hydrogen and oxygen split from each other, then you can get a lot of energy from igniting it and letting them form back into H2O. Most heavy elements (heavier than iron) were made in the cores of supermassive stars at the point where they exploded in a supernova. Some of the heavy elements were made when objects crashed (especially stars colliding into each other after circling each other for a long time), because the area between the cores becomes super-energetic due to the area being compressed. Sort of like the air in front of returning spacecraft being compressed and super-heated, but with cores of stars instead of a tiny capsule. And the atmosphere they compress is already thousands of degrees when beginning the compressing. That being said, nuclear fission and fusion bombs are actually not very efficient, you only get a small portion of the energy out.

There have been countless case studies on Nazi Germany and the sociology at play behind it, how it was allowed to happen by so many people, and who was really to shoulder the blame for it all. Questions asked were \"is Hitler guilty for issuing the orders, or are the people guilty for following them?\" The truth is ambiguous here, but the ELI5 version is this: People in large groups tend to be ushered in by the pack mentality of it. Rabid nationalism, or cult-followings tend to change the way people think, especially when they're benefiting from a system or set of orders put in place. People may find themselves more morally flexible when they feel the entire world is against them, as it's safer and easier to just agree to do whatever is being asked than it would be to resist. Often times the punishment for not following such evil orders of torture/execution is just as bad as the orders themselves. Lastly, the system/leadership in place may just be enabling psychopathy in some people who end up in positions of power or prestige.

[ "Never look directly at the sun, even at sunrise or sunset. At sunrise and sunset the sunlight has to travel through a *lot* more atmosphere, which filters out more of the dangerous UV light (and is also why sunrise and sunset turn the sky red) due to the angle the light comes at. The atmosphere is fairly thin compared to cosmic scales, so having a light shine directly on top of you is a huge difference from a light shining from the side where it travels through many times more atmosphere." ]

[ "Nuclear weapons tend to be much, much larger than conventional explosives in terms of output. The Hiroshima bomb was a single bomb equivalent to 15,000 tons of TNT. That's a _lot_ of TNT. During the Cold War the US and USSR fielded weapons in the tens of _millions_ of tons of TNT, per bomb. You simply _can't_ accomplish that with conventional means — a 10 megaton bomb can essentially destroy the entire New York metro area in an instant (it is 3-4 times the explosive output of _all of World War II_, including the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki). Modern thermonuclear weapons are on the order of hundreds of thousands of tons of TNT equivalent — smaller than those monster bombs, but still 10-20 times the bombs that were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. When you can threaten to destroy an entire city in an instant — much less an entire nation in a day — it does change things. Such things are _not_ normally attainable by conventional means." ]

[ "I assume you just mean an actor in like a TV show or movie and so on. *Everything* is negotiated. Generally unless you'rehuge A-lister like Tom Cruise, who could command some generous terms, you just get paid a flat fee. How and when that fee is paid out is again negotiated. Although a lump sum payment is common. For example: You may get $20,000 per episode of a sitcom. Or $100,000 for shooting a movie. For lesser actors, there are specific pay rates that the unions have negotiated and you often get paid that for small, mundane roles for unknown actors and such. Only the top best of the best actors can get things like percentage of the gross or other items where the money starts to get pretty intense, above that of a usually already large fee for their services. Actor contracts are often some of the most complex contracts around as well, and they have all types of craziness about how everything is calculated and paid, contingencies when/if issues happen, how to get out of the contract (for both sides), and everything else you can think of." ]
